This is what we call 'a nightstand book' at our house: It will joyfully make its way from my night stand to my husband's. The gifted Jeremy Massey has created a complex, fascinating, and hilarious Irishman in Paddy Buckley, the delightful centre of a novel brimming with passion, humour, poetry, and wisdom that come only from the Emerald Isle, where the best stories are born.
Jeremy Massey puts a fresh and intriguing spin on the Irish crime novel with the tale of an ordinary man drawn into a deadly conflict with a Dublin mob boss. The Last Four Days of Paddy Buckley is both a cleverly constructed thriller and an unforgettable story of friendship, love, and loyalty. It's sharply writtten, darkly comic, and full of heart.
I love the way Massey writes. For a first-time novelist, his confidence is remarkable. He's got the natural voice of a storyteller (working in the first person helps a lot), and feels no need to show off or lard his paragraphs with hyperbole or unnecessary linguistic fireworks. His writing is by no means spare, it's just lush in a way that feels completely unforced. And every now and then, he drops a truly beautiful line or description, and coming upon it unexpectedly feels like finding money on the street.
